A Friend of Rufus nIapee.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
AS one of the very many friends of Mr.. Rufus
Magee, minister to the court of Sweden and
Norway, thank you for your generous and
manly defense of his good name. 1 have known
him twenty years. I was his tutor in col
lege, where he made his way by his labor as a
practical janitor. I was mis- roommate when,
after the war, he was performing editorial work
and studying law in this city. When he was
married, was his groomsman. We have very
often visited at each others homes, and have
been associated with him in important business
matters Though devoted and steadfast adher-
ents of different political parties, our acquaint
ance and friendship has been intimate and
know him well. He is gentleman in spirit and
conduct, and is wholly incapable of meanness.
Since he has been abroad be has corresponued
with me, but he has said nothing of the attacks
upon him in the New York World AS under
stand the matter, irresponsible person OF
base sort, having furnished some scurrious
abuse, that paper. instead of first investigating,

understood his mission to be to write something
sensational and therefore derogatory, and who
performed his mercenary service by substituting
invention for facts
know that Mr.. Magee is thoroughly honest
high toned, generous and affable. a representa-
tive American. proud of his citizenship. and
that In his present position he is conscIentously
solicitors to serve his count rs we'll and to main
well known. highly esteemed, and is so I'M
reservedy liked in Indiana, that such attacks
instead of staining his honor, only produce
contempt for the authors. JAMES B. BLACK.

Inc Power of the rias.

A writer in The Galveston News calls
attention to the fact that the greatest
damage done on the beach during the re-
cent storm along the gulf coast occurred
after the tide had turned and commenced
to ebb. AS the tide turned the velocity of
the wind increased, forcing the water in
ward, while the receding tide exerted an
outward pressure, thus causing churn-
ing motion of the water to and fro and
whirlpool around every obstruction met
wrenching to pieces buildings which had
fallen from their piling and undermining
the piling of those still standing. Fence
posts two feet in the ground, from which
the fences had been previously washed
were torn from the ground by this churn-
ing motion of the water, leaving holes
where they stood from one foot to eight
cen inches deep.-Chicago Times.
